Welcome! Jigsaw Explorer is the finest jigsaw puzzle player on the Internet. However, you will first need to update
your web browser to the latest available version to play the jigsaw puzzles here. Our advanced jigsaw puzzle player
program requires the WebGL technology provided by modern browsers to achieve its high level of realism.

Save: Puzzles in progress are automatically saved so you can leave and return to them
later. To continue a puzzle in progress simply select the same puzzle on the Jigsaw Explorer
web site and continue play. Jigsaw Explorer will remember the ten most recently uncompleted puzzles.
Puzzles can be saved only if your browser's cookies are enabled and the puzzle is not being played
in the browser's privacy mode.

Rotate: If rotation is enabled then puzzles pieces can be rotated with either the mouse
scroll wheel or by using the left and right arrow keys. Pieces can rotated on a touch screen by
selecting a piece with a tap and tapping the selected piece again to rotate.

Capture and Release: The capture and release feature is a handy method of quickly and
efficiently moving multiple puzzle pieces at a time. Use the "Capture and Release" button in
the toolbar to toggle in and out of capture mode. Capture pieces by clicking them, or by swiping
over them while pressing the mouse button. Release captured pieces by clicking in any open space
of the playing area, or by swiping over open space while pressing the mouse button.

Timer: The timer can be paused by clicking it.

Restart Puzzle: A puzzle already in progress can be restarted from the beginning by clicking the
program menu button (leftmost button on the toolbar) and selecting "Modify this puzzle" from the menu. Then
select the desired number of puzzle pieces to restart the puzzle.

puzzle pieces.
